screen brightness

Q:screen brightness

HiI can't adjust my screen brightness. I right-clicked on the desktop and selected Display Settings and the brightness adjustment bar was moveable, but it had no effect. Now, when I right click and select display settings, the brightness adjustment bar is no longer there.Currently the display is too bright and is quite glaring causing eye strain.Any help would be welcome.ThanksDaniel

Does anybody know what drivers/software is responsible for displaying On Screen Volume and Screen Brightness Indicator (while pressing Fn+F2,F3,...) ?

What I've found so far that the Dell QuickSet may does the work (link to this solution: No Level Indicator When Using Keyboard Audio Volume Controls), but I couldn't find a compatible version of this soft with Dell Latitude E5550.

I've noticed this happen twice. All of a sudden the screen flickered for just a second and the colors on the screen got brighter. By brighter I mean the the actual color changed (ex. my blue taskbar looked grayish). Both times my laptop was plugged in and the second time it happened I simply unplugged the computer and it changed back. After plugging the adapter back in the screen went to plugged in settings, but did not change the colors. The two times were separated by about two weeks.

I'm curious what might be causing this. It's probably just some little bug with a driver but I wanted to know what you guys thought.

Try uninstalling the monitor driver, re-booting, and letting it re-load the driver when it loads.

Hi: Did you install the graphics driver? That would be the only suggestion I can offer. This package provides the driver that enables the Intel High-Definition (HD) Graphics in supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. If high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) video output is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver. http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp75501-76000/sp75508.exe Check to ensure you see the Intel graphics adapter listed in the device manager under the display adapters device manager category. If you see a Standard VGA Adapter, that means the graphics driver did not install.

I upgraded to Windows 10 and now the screen is too bright. The buttons when used don't adjust the screen brighness at all. I upgraded the drivers and it still does not work. Any suggestions or has anyone else has this issue?

Hi, Can you post back with the full Model No. and Product No. of your Envy 17 series notebook - you can usually get this by holding down the fn key and pressing esc, otherwise see Here for a guide on locating this information. Regards, DP-K

I am a teacher and we use chrome books daily. However, I have 4 chrome books that have the exact same problem. It looks like a black screen, however the chrome book is turned on and brightness is at 100%. I can barley make out that the computer is working, however if I conect it to the projector I can see the display. Thank you

hi, i hope you guys can help me with this.....i upgraded to windows seven and love it. there has only been one big problem....when i unplug my dell inspiron 1720 laptop the screen dims significantly.....and the button on my lap top wont make it brighter. When i click the battery button "adjust plan brightness" is up all the way for running on battery.....any help....i use it alot not plugged in school and its way to dim to use like this...JOHN

A:Screen Brightness

The first step would be to see if there any Win7 drivers for your computer.I did not see any .... Yet...Maybe the vista 32 drivers will work for now.

I have a very small problem here. I had a recent format to my laptop. Assume now that I am working on the battery. Whenever I plug in the AC, screen brightness increases perfectly. No problem here. Now imagine, I put the laptop to sleep or hibernate and I plug in the AC. Whenever the laptop comes from sleep or hibernate, screen brightness stays dimmed. I need to adjust it manually every time.

Did any of you experienced something similar to this one? I checked other posts but most of them are related with not being able to change the brightness manually. Nothing like my problem.

I appreciate any suggestion

I'm running Windows '98 on a 'Tiny' tower system and monitor.I recently reinstalled Windows on my sysytem following virus problems which have now been solved.

Before reinstalling Windows I was having problems with the brightness of my screen - basically it was very dark - which I was correcting by going to [Settings],[Control panel],[Display], [Setting], [Advanced], [Color] and changing the settings there.

Now I've reinstalled Windows I've lost the [Color] tab on the [Advanced] window and I'm unable to brighten my display.

My display driver is the most up to date available in the windows database - please help me change the brightness of my display.

Hi I have a HP envy m6 notebook and when im viewing websites the brightness will keep randomly changing.why is this and how do I stop it?ive gone into the settings and turned off the 'enable adaptive brightness' but it still seems to keep happeningany ideas?

A:Screen brightness

Are you using an HP branded power adapter? Cheap generic ones, can cause power fluctuations.

I have just gone from Win XP SP3 to Windows 7. Two nights ago is when I installed windows 7 everything was fine then after restarting my netbook my screen brightness went down so I went to download the utility tool for my Display Manager. Other hotkeys work perfect just not my brightness.

When my netbook starts up I can change the brightness up from one bar to two bars (20%) but no more. I have even reinstalled the tools again but nothing works for my brightness and there is nothing on the power options for the brightness.

Thanks so much, I wonder what the logic of putting it there is... From an OS X Geek trying to make sense of Windows!

I have a Lenovo y560 and the screen brightness juss keeps changing on its own, i try to set it to a brighter settingand it justs lowers itself back down within seconds, the laptop is also running windows 7 64 bit if that could be a cause.

A:Screen brightness changes on its own?

Your computer's got an ambient light sensor to detect and automatically adjust screen brightness based on surrounding lighting. You'll have to disable the setting. Lenovo has their own energy management program that has a setting for it, but I'd imagine there's something in the Control Panel (maybe Power Options?) that allows you to turn the setting off.

I can hardly see the screenIt just goes down on its own.I to have some control oer the brightness, and have got it set NOT to go to sleep on or off the battery.It's a full whack now, and it's still not bright enogh.Its just started doing it since i had to get my system re-set. I used to do it befoer but I managed to get it so that it didnt do it on its own.I checked in power serttings and i defintiely do not have it set to go dim after a while.Would love some help cos its too dark and hurting my eyes at the moment.thanks

well when my laptop is plugged in it shows maxiumum brightness, but when its not plugged in it become brighter, yet brightness setting shows in the middle, for not plugged in, how can i get the plugged in brightness to equal unplugged brightness, and I have tried changing power settings.

A:Screen Brightness adjusting help

First of all, please specify maker and model of your laptop. Some vendors could have their own third party replacements for some functions.

Also, please go to Control Panel - Power Options - on the right side of your current active power plan select "Change plan settings" - in the next window click "Change ADVANCED power settings" - then navigate to - Display - Display brightness and check percentage.

When i upgraded to win 8.1 my screen brightness went up and i can't control it. i tried re-installing the graphic drivers but it's not helping. Also my battery backup has decreased from 3.5 hrs to 2 hrs only. What do i Do?

Hello Swaroop,

You might see if you may be able to adjust your screen brightness using an option in the tutorial below.Screen Brightness - Adjust in Windows 8It wouldn't hurt to check and see if this may be responsible as well.

My desktop machine is a Windows 7 32-bit. My problem is that when I read a PDF, the brightness of screen bothers me and I want to reduce it. My monitor is a Samsung LCD and only has a button. When I press it one time it turn the screen on/off and when I press and hold it, it just adjusts the wallpaper.

Is there a way to reduce it?

A:How to reduce my screen brightness

Your going to have to post the exact model of your monitor for us to help you because its going to be the monitor that reduces the brightness.

Hello All: I have been using this HP Pavilion dv6-1334us and wXP for 7-year. Recently I feel that the brightness of the screen is a little bit too low/dark.I want to adjust it to higher/brighter, but can not find the key/way! Could you please tell me? --Zhao

On my monitor it seems like everything is too bright, as in places that should be pitch black are a bit too light. For example: on my iPod, even with full brightness settings everything looks normal, but on my PC's monitor it just doesn't look right.

I calibrated color and setting gamma way low really helped, but my contrast is set to full, and my brightness is 75.

The strange thing: when I ran Crysis 1, it fixed the monitor color! So I know the darn thing is capable, I just don't know how to.

Hi. I have an HP EliteBook 2740p. There are icons on the F9 and F10 keys to adjust the screen brightness up or down. But when I hold the Fn key and press either F9 or F10, the screen brightness does not change. Is there some other setting somewhere that is preventing me from adjusting the screen brightness? Is there a driver that I need to download to activate these keys? Thank you

I like my Toshiba Portege M300 because of compact size, etc. Recently I needed a new hard disk and my repairer loaded W7. I used XP previously and Toshiba do not recommend W7 for this notebook due to age. However, all is working well apart from the screen brightness adjustment. This was previously done by the Fn+F6/F7 hotkeys and there was a driver for this.

In W7 Screen Resolution there is supposed to be a brightness slider but this is not present on my W7 system (I gather that this not an uncommon feature)

How can I adjust the setting sin my notebook to fix a brightness as I am resigned to the fact that the old brightness adjustment will not apply now that I am using W7? Is there a change in the Bios that might help?

A:Screen Resolution Brightness.

I didn't think that the brightness settings of Fn+F6/F7 were affected by the OS but I've been wrong about stuff like that before

In the BIOS, there should be some kind of power or battery settings section that may have some LCD brightness settings that you can try tweaking.

I have a HP Envy dv7 Notebook PC. It recently just downloaded the new HP Assistant and I wanted to adjust the brightness because it was too bright for the dark room I was in. I tried using the F2 and F3 keys to lower the brightness and I tried to adjust it from settings and control panal but the brightness doesn't adjust when I move it up or down.

Hi, I have been having an issue recently with newer games. The games I play now are starting to override my gpu screen brightness settings and reverting them back to original brightness.

Basically I have my screen brightness set lower than normal through my gpu control panel. When I play some of these newer games now they override my gpu settings and revert them back to normal, even after the game is exited. I have to then go back into my gpu cotrol panel and set it back to what I had it originally.

This has happened with 2 different graphics cards, Nvidia and AMD both using their gpu display settings panel. Which would be Nvidia Control Panel, and AMD Cataclysm/Crimson Control Panels. Also with different drivers. The games I've had issues with are Fallout 4, Warhammer Vermintide, and now Ghost in the Shell Online. So I don't know if its an issue just for me or if that's just how games are being made now to use their brightness settings to override mine. Any thoughts?

I have bought the Yoga Pro 2 a week ago and noticed this screen flickering especially on low brightness settings. I have read around these forums and found the solution to disable Intel's power option and windows power setting, but that did not solve it. Still flickers when set to low brightness and it is very frustrating on this new laptop when working in dark conditions. What shall I do?

A:Flickering Screen on Low Brightness

Does it help if you decrease or increase the refresh rate of your display?

Also have you tried updating your drivers and BIOS here?Also join this thread over here.

So I have read a lot of diffrent ways to solve this problem and I have searched for hours looking for a solution, yet nothing i've tried has worked for me. Whenever i press the fn key and try to adjust brightness then it does't, it does pop up the slider at the corner but it only moves upwards and downwards only one level yet the brightness wont change even that much. I only found one other person that had this problem and he got it solved, but he had an Asus laptop and he got it fixed with some Asus drivers but i have a Dell Vostro laptop. One of the biggest suggestions i have found that has worked for people has been to install some older display drivers, but that hasn't worked for me either.

I'm not sure if this is in the right forum. But in the last couple months, once in a blue moon I couldn't change my screen brightness, and now in the last couple days it's gotten a whole lot worse. Usually, I can't change brightness either via my 'fn -/+' hotkeys or via the actual brightness slider in the power panel. A full reboot or simple hibernation then reboot both let me change brightness again. But the last couple days, restarting the computer just puts the brightness on either fully dimmed or fully bright, and I still can't change it.

This is an HP G60 laptop, and I've had windows seven for a year on it. Like I said above it only started a couple months ago then got worse this week, and what I've found on google so far was all for newly-updated-to-seven issues. My drivers all seem to be up to date according to the windows update driver function... Can anyone help me?

since a reboot fixes it (at least temp.) it is probably not hardware but software. Do you have a backup from before the problem started getting worse?

Hello, i'm not sure it's the right place i'm posting this. I formatted my computer, and now it seems that the option to adjust my screen brightness has disappeared... When i go to Power Options there is no slider what so ever.

I was very grateful to forum members for their response to my first question here, and I'd like to ask another, on a different matter.

I run 8.1 on a Dell laptop. The screen is extremely bright and glaring, very hard on the eyes. When I turn down the brightness to an acceptable level, text loses definition. So I've tried new themes, both Windows and also Firefox add-ons. But then I find photographic images from news sites such as Yahoo disappear - not all of them, but some. Is there any way of preventing this?

Dear All! A few weaks ago I bought a new HP ProBook 440 G3 notebook and everything is working perfectly, only the FN keys for screen brightness are not working (the other fn keys for volume etc are OK).

Well I've had my laptop for almost 5 months now, however I did break it and got a screen replacement yesterday. Ever since then my screen seems dim. I've altered all the settings (as explained on other threads) but I still can't get to the centre of the problem. I had no trouble altering my brightness before my screen replacement so I do presume that the screen that the shop fitted wasn't the correct one and therefore a cheap option.

What do I do?

A:Screen Brightness won't adjust

Contact the shop that did the replacement, and ask them why it doesn't work now.

A:cant adjust screen brightness

Hi, I too have a Samsung Monitor (T220) which possibly - like yours - does NOT have the necessary software to link with the 'auto adjust brightness' system within the Charms Menu. You should however be able to adjust brightness (and anything else) via the controls which will I expect be built into the side (or along the base) of your screen.If you haven't already got a copy of your manual you can download a PDF from Samsung which will show how to make the adjustments you require.

I just yesterday finished my new computer (16Gb RAM, i5-4470k, GTX 770, Win 8.1, etc.) and I just today realized that I cannot change the screen brightness. The button is grayed out and says "Unavailable" which I know cannot be possible.

Now, i have done my research and people say that the fix is to update your drivers through the Device Manager, and I have tried that to no avail. I have tried all possible combinations of "Display Adapters" and "Monitors" drivers. None work. I have been restarting my computer after every change and I have no idea what there is left to do.

One thing that I might add is that a lot of people remedy this problem by reverting their Intel Integrated drives back to an older version, but I do not have an option to change it's drivers. It shows up nowhere in the Device manager.

My eyes are burning as I am typing this and I would even go for a third-party brightness program (if that even exists).

Thanks in Advance,Cam

A:Cannot change screen brightness in Win 8.1

Hello Cam, and welcome to Eight Forums.

See if this may be able to help. If this is for a desktop PC, then you'll need to manually adjust the brightness level on the monitor itself.

Is there a way I can increase the brightness of my screen? (well more my friends since its his screen I am trying to fix)I have already put the contrast on the screen itself to the max and its still very dark, i was wondering if there was like an option in control panel or something. Ive tried looking around a bit but ive had no luck, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am using a desktop pc which does not have keyboard shortcuts for adjusting screen brightness (eg Fn+Fx). Is there a way I can create a shortcut for adjusting screen brightness (eg Cntrl+PgeUp)?
